What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

There have been many books on leadership, but here at last is one that actually draws on the wisdom of those in the know. Acting on his belief that you get the most done in the first 20 minutes of a meeting, Allan Leighton invited top businessmen and women to spend just 20 minutes talking about their views on leadership. And he has talked to an astonishing range of them—established giants such as Philip Green and Rupert Murdoch; the new generation of leaders—Andy Hornby at HBOS and Justin King at Sainsbury; and entrepreneurial figures including James Dyson and Gulam Noon of Noon Foods. He has gone even further by interviewing the nation's top financial journalists, whose views can help make a company soar or sink; the money men, whose support is critical for investment and acquisition; the politicians, who help create the climate in which businesses can thrive or falter. Thought-provoking, often surprising, and always insightful, the resulting book is a fascinating, 360-degree view of what it takes to be a business leader in today's cut-throat global economy.
